* TheCorrupter: He can do this, though as he points out, he has no influence over people's choices. All he does is draw out their innermost desires and maybe verbally manipulate them from there.
* DealWithTheDevil: Averted. Lucifer's remit is simply to punish those who sin. While he can cause people to draw out their innermost desire, he's not able to make deals in exchange for people's souls. The most he can do is leverage his Hollywood connections if he feels someone deserves a shot at fame and fortune. If the people he helps get in trouble, it's entirely their own fault.
* TheDreaded: twofold - first, when people know/realise who he really is. He's not the Lord of Darkness for nothing. Second, he has this status InUniverse among those who know him, with the record producer making reference to having seen Lucifer's 'freaky powers' up close and personal before.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Lucifer is, if nothing else, a man of his word, judging by the way he acts after making a deal with the therapist to have sex with her in exchange for the name of the other party in Delilah's affair.
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Chloe and Lucifer's faces when they saw the news report.
* EyesNeverLie: That the record producer avoids Lucifer's gaze while being questioned about Delilah would suggest that this trope is in effect when the latter is trying to get inside someone's head.
* TheGadfly: Lucifer enjoys annoying people, and he's really, really good at it.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Maze is seen leaning back against the bar with her eyes closed and ignoring Lucifer. Then, a man rises up from the bottom of the frame.
* IGaveMyWord: Almost exact words from the Prince of Lies.
---> '''Lucifer''': My word is my bond.
* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Lucifer smashes a rapper through a window before hanging the guy off a balcony by the chain around his neck.
* ManipulativeBastard: Again, this is Lucifer we're talking about.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste: Lucifer is impeccably dressed, owns a nightclub, and is very well spoken. Oh, and he's actually {{Satan}}.
* MeaningfulName: A couple. [[Literature/TheDivineComedy Beatrice]], [[Literature/SamsonAndDelilah Delilah]].
* NobleDemon: This version of Lucifer isn't in the business of causing pain and suffering for his own amusement (most of the time). Instead, he uses his abilities to bring suffering upon those who deserve while happening to help those in need in the process...
* NoSell: Chloe is immune to Lucifer's abilities and charms, sexual or otherwise.
* OldShame: InUniverse. Chloe had a brief career as an actress and appeared in a topless scene that is said to rival Phoebe Cates' in ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh''. She'd prefer it if all memory of it was wiped from the face of the Earth.
* {{Pornomancer}}: Many, ''many'' women are sexually attracted to Lucifer, and he says that he's like "walking heroin" in the bedroom.
* RaceLift: Amenadiel was white in the comics. Here, he's black.
* RedOniBlueOni: Lucifer is fittingly Red to Chloe's Blue.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: This only seems to apply if Lucifer's caught off guard. If he isn't, he barely even notices bullets.
* ResignationsNotAccepted: Lucifer doesn't want to be in charge of the Underworld any more, but God insists that he go back and take care of things. Amenadiel implies that things have [[LamePun gone to hell]] since Lucifer decided to set up shop in LA.
* SecretPublicIdentity: Lucifer is quite happy to tell everybody his real name, since no one actually believes he is who he is - except for the priest at the record producer's wedding, who seems to recognise Lucifer and crosses himself. Mind you, that reaction could simply be because Lucifer's crashed the wedding.
* SmugSnake: Lucifer is perpetually smug (unless he's annoyed or worse, angry), but he really is as good as he thinks he is.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Averted. Lucifer, the Dark Lord of the Underworld, realizes that he has issues and decides to seek therapy in exchange for having lots of sex with his therapist.
-->'''Lucifer''': Here's the deal: we can have as much naked cuddle time as you desire. But you're going to have to listen to me too. There's a few things I'd like to discuss with you. You know...just an existential dilemma or two. Deal?\\
'''Linda''': Yes!\\
'''Lucifer''': Lovely!
* UnflinchingWalk: Lucifer does one towards speeding cars.
* VillainProtagonist: Lucifer, though as Amenadiel and Maze note, he's behaving much more morally of late.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Lucifer and Chloe, with the former greatly enjoying pushing the latter's buttons and being fascinated by/respecting her for her ability to NoSell his abilities.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Lucifer can't actually force people to sin nor buy people's souls in exchange for favors (although he'll use his Hollywood connections if he likes you). He has, however, the innate ability to draw out people's dark sides and get them to reveal their innermost desires. He's actually somewhat disappointed when people simply give in to their urges.
